Originally posted by mee The giveaway is very generous and thank you for answering my question.
I'm thinking though, in light of the response, if we have more focus on the photos and less on sheer random post count, it would benefit that purpose more. Maybe comments on photos and/or hardware reviews count 1.5x/2x/or something along those lines. Or even just being entered in a drawing if you either post a review, photo, or comment on a photo.
Are you going to extend the deadline or relax the total post count if we don't meet the threshold? Unless something dramatic happens in the next two weeks, it doesn't look like we're going to be close.
I kept hoping
@Adam would respond to this - his answers are so much more gracious than mine.
In the past day, you have posted four times to this thread. Period. You could have posted multiple photos, or commented on multiple photos, during that same time.
My issue is the negativity here, and this constant commenting about process is an example of that. I know from experience that commenting on photos takes time; you have to look at them, think about them, and skip some you don't think are worthy of comment, but it can be done.
@Adam says that is what is trying to foster; when I've commented on a photo, I've often noticed that he got there before me. You could do that too, and if you and others did that, focusing on the photos rather than on the process, we wouldn't be close - we would be way beyond the target without need of any multiplier.
